`git switch <tag>` will do the same thing. Inform them of the --detach

It is helpful to distinguish between a 'working tree' and a 'worktree'.
A worktree contains a working tree plus additional metadata. This
metadata includes per-worktree refs and worktree-specific config.
This is the last of multiple changes to git-worktree.txt, starting at
the LIST OUTPUT FORMAT section.
The EXAMPLES section has an instance of "working tree" that must stay as
it is, because it is not talking about a worktree, but an example of why
a user might want to create a worktree.

We have description on "per worktree ref", but "worktree" is not
described in the glossary. We do have "working tree", though.
Casually put, a "working tree" is what your editor and compiler
interacts with. "worktree" is a mechanism to allow one or more
"working tree"s to be attached to a repository and used to check out
different commits and branches independently, which includes not
just a "working tree" but also repository metadata like HEAD, the
index to support simultaneous use of them. Historically, we used
these terms interchangeably but we have been trying to use "working
tree" when we mean it, instead of "worktree".
Most of the existing references to "working tree" in the glossary do
refer primarily to the working tree portion, except for one that
said refs like HEAD and refs/bisect/* are per "working tree", but it
is more precise to say they are per "worktree".

When cloning a repo with a --filter and with --recurse-submodules
enabled, the partial clone filter only applies to the top-level repo.
This can lead to unexpected bandwidth and disk usage for projects which
include large submodules. For example, a user might wish to make a
partial clone of Gerrit and would run:
`git clone --recurse-submodules --filter=blob:5k https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit`.
However, only the superproject would be a partial clone; all the
submodules would have all blobs downloaded regardless of their size.
With this change, the same filter can also be applied to submodules,
meaning the expected bandwidth and disk savings apply consistently.
To avoid changing default behavior, add a new clone flag,
`--also-filter-submodules`. When this is set along with `--filter` and
`--recurse-submodules`, the filter spec is passed along to git-submodule
and git-submodule--helper, such that submodule clones also have the
filter applied.
This applies the same filter to the superproject and all submodules.
Users who need to customize the filter per-submodule would need to clone
with `--no-recurse-submodules` and then manually initialize each
submodule with the proper filter.
Applying filters to submodules should be safe thanks to Jonathan Tan's
recent work [1, 2, 3] eliminating the use of alternates as a method of
accessing submodule objects, so any submodule object access now triggers
a lazy fetch from the submodule's promisor remote if the accessed object
is missing. This patch is a reworked version of [4], which was created
prior to Jonathan Tan's work.

`git sparse-checkout set/init` enables worktree-specific
configuration[*] by setting extensions.worktreeConfig=true, but neglects
to perform the additional necessary bookkeeping of relocating
`core.bare=true` and `core.worktree` from $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config to
$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.worktree, as documented in git-worktree.txt. As a
result of this oversight, these settings, which are nonsensical for
secondary worktrees, can cause Git commands to incorrectly consider a
worktree bare (in the case of `core.bare`) or operate on the wrong
worktree (in the case of `core.worktree`). Fix this problem by taking
advantage of the recently-added init_worktree_config() which enables
`extensions.worktreeConfig` and takes care of necessary bookkeeping.
While at it, for backward-compatibility reasons, also stop upgrading the
repository format to "1" since doing so is (unintentionally) not
required to take advantage of `extensions.worktreeConfig`, as explained
by 11664196ac ("Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse
extensions for old repositories"", 2020-07-15).
[*] The main reason to use worktree-specific config for the
sparse-checkout builtin was to avoid enabling sparse-checkout patterns
in one and causing a loss of files in another. If a worktree does not
have a sparse-checkout patterns file, then the sparse-checkout logic
will not kick in on that worktree.

The extensions.worktreeConfig extension was added in 58b284a (worktree:
add per-worktree config files, 2018-10-21) and was somewhat documented
in Documentation/git-config.txt. However, the extensions.worktreeConfig
value was not specified further in the list of possible config keys. The
location of the config.worktree file is not specified, and there are
some precautions that should be mentioned clearly, but are only
mentioned in git-worktree.txt.
Expand the documentation to help users discover the complexities of
extensions.worktreeConfig by adding details and cross links in these
locations (relative to Documentation/):
- config/extensions.txt
- git-config.txt
- git-worktree.txt
The updates focus on items such as
* $GIT_DIR/config.worktree takes precedence over $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.
* The core.worktree and core.bare=true settings are incorrect to have in
the common config file when extensions.worktreeConfig is enabled.
* The sparse-checkout settings core.sparseCheckout[Cone] are recommended
to be set in the worktree config.
As documented in 11664196ac ("Revert "check_repository_format_gently():
refuse extensions for old repositories"", 2020-07-15), this extension
must be considered regardless of the repository format version for
historical reasons.
A future change will update references to extensions.worktreeConfig
within git-sparse-checkout.txt, but a behavior change is needed before
making those updates.

To improve the submodules UX, we would like to teach Git to handle
branches in submodules. Start this process by teaching "git branch" the
--recurse-submodules option so that "git branch --recurse-submodules
topic" will create the `topic` branch in the superproject and its
submodules.
Although this commit does not introduce breaking changes, it does not
work well with existing --recurse-submodules commands because "git
branch --recurse-submodules" writes to the submodule ref store, but most
commands only consider the superproject gitlink and ignore the submodule
ref store. For example, "git checkout --recurse-submodules" will check
out the commits in the superproject gitlinks (and put the submodules in
detached HEAD) instead of checking out the submodule branches.
Because of this, this commit introduces a new configuration value,
`submodule.propagateBranches`. The plan is for Git commands to
prioritize submodule ref store information over superproject gitlinks if
this value is true. Because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to
submodule ref stores, for the sake of clarity, it will not function
unless this configuration value is set.
This commit also includes changes that support working with submodules
from a superproject commit because "branch --recurse-submodules" (and
future commands) need to read .gitmodules and gitlinks from the
superproject commit, but submodules are typically read from the
filesystem's .gitmodules and the index's gitlinks. These changes are:
* add a submodules_of_tree() helper that gives the relevant
information of an in-tree submodule (e.g. path and oid) and
initializes the repository
* add is_tree_submodule_active() by adding a treeish_name parameter to
is_submodule_active()
* add the "submoduleNotUpdated" advice to advise users to update the
submodules in their trees
Incidentally, fix an incorrect usage string that combined the 'list'
usage of git branch (-l) with the 'create' usage; this string has been
incorrect since its inception, a8dfd5eac4 (Make builtin-branch.c use
parse_options., 2007-10-07).

When this option is specified, we remerge all (two parent) merge commits
and diff the actual merge commit to the automatically created version,
in order to show how users removed conflict markers, resolved the
different conflict versions, and potentially added new changes outside
of conflict regions in order to resolve semantic merge problems (or,
possibly, just to hide other random changes).
This capability works by creating a temporary object directory and
marking it as the primary object store. This makes it so that any blobs
or trees created during the automatic merge are easily removable
afterwards by just deleting all objects from the temporary object
directory.
There are a few ways that this implementation is suboptimal:
* `log --remerge-diff` becomes slow, because the temporary object
directory can fill with many loose objects while running
* the log output can be muddied with misplaced "warning: cannot merge
binary files" messages, since ll-merge.c unconditionally writes those
messages to stderr while running instead of allowing callers to
manage them.
* important conflict and warning messages are simply dropped; thus for
conflicts like modify/delete or rename/rename or file/directory which
are not representable with content conflict markers, there may be no
way for a user of --remerge-diff to know that there had been a
conflict which was resolved (and which possibly motivated other
changes in the merge commit).
* when fixing the previous issue, note that some unimportant conflict
and warning messages might start being included. We should instead
make sure these remain dropped.
Subsequent commits will address these issues.
